HVAC systems are essential for every home. They make hot summers bearable and help families stay cozy in winter. These systems are available in a wide variety of options, giving homeowners the flexibility to choose one for their needs. If you’re building a new house, here are five options you may want to consider.

5 HVAC System Options for New Homes

1. Horizontal-Ducted

These unobtrusive units from Mitsubishi Electric provide complete control over your home’s comfort level while remaining out of sight of residents. They also come equipped with remote control, letting owners change the temperature and settings on their smartphones, even when they’re not at home.

2. Ductless Mini-Split

If you want maximum energy efficiency, this system from York® should be high on your list. Ductless systems lose less energy than their ducted counterparts. They have variable speed compressors for outdoor units, which means that efficiency is above other models. Conserving energy in your home will lower your bills every year, making this a worthwhile investment.

3. Ceiling-Cassette

This system distributes air evenly throughout rooms of the house, ensuring that no section is too hot or cold. It accomplishes this with four individual vents, one on each side, that can be adjusted to point in any direction. The units fit unobtrusively onto the ceiling: you’ll hardly notice them, but they’ll make a big difference in your home’s atmosphere.

4. Packaged Units

Packaged units are inexpensive and easy to maintain since they include all the necessary components in the unit. They can be used on an as-needed basis, room-by-room, which means they make excellent supplements for other systems and help provide temperature zoning for your house. Expert contractors can quickly and unobtrusively install these systems. 

5. Floor-Mounted

Floor-mounted systems allow for easy control of the unit, which means you have a better ability to distribute air evenly throughout your home. These units are also portable, allowing you to move them where you need them most. This option puts the control back in your hands.
